The benefits of Google+

When Google+ first came out it was by invite only, to me I thought great another Facebook clone. Now in the business world their spikes a huge explosion in Google+. From an article I read Google+ is having people spend longer amounts of time on the site and that means increased traffic. Another perk for users is authorship. By having a Google Plus account allows you to claim authorship of your original content. This keeps your unique and original content valuable and accredited to you, even if content thieves scrape your work. This increases credibility and power, and also increase your search engine recognition. As a business person this can work in your favor. Increasing online presence is not only easy but beneficial in the end if they search you or your company that's what will come up on the first couple searches.
